| Gannett Health Services, soon to be "Cornell Health" - The Patient Advocates Patient Advocates are Gannett Health Services (Cornell Health) staff members who work with the Cornell community to address questions, needs, concerns, or problems that were not or could not be addressed with the Gannett Health (Cornell Health) staff who were directly involved in the patient's visit. Patient Advocates may be helpful when:
- a concern did not become evident until after the visit
- a person has a concern, but does not know with whom to talk
- a person needs a "third party" to hear or to help them communicate a concern
- a person wants to ask a question, make a suggestion, register a complaint, offer feedback
- a Gannett staff member identifies a situation in which a Patient Advocate might be able to answer a question, address a concern, or facilitate a conversation that would be helpful to a patient
- a staff or faculty member, coach, friend, parent or other family member wants to help facilitate care for a student, ask a question, make a suggestion, register a complaint, or offer feedback about our services
Contact a Patient Advocate To make a face-to-face or phone appointment with a Gannett (Cornell Health) Patient Advocate to discuss any questions, concerns, or comments about your health care, you may:
- call 607-255-3564
- visit the Level 7 reception desk in the new Cornell Health addition
